Climate scientists finding a voice

Climate
scientists finding a voice... regardless of whether the change is due
to human activity or not, no one can deny scientific evidence that there
is a climate change!: http://www.sciencealert.com.au/news/20122301-23035.html
"Climate change has already contributed to the southward shift in the
breeding distribution of some tropical bird species in WA. A
research compiled by the Conservation Council WA (CCWA) and Halfmoon
Biosciences, demonstrates that the poleward movement of two dark tern
species is in line with general predictions of global warming." .... http://www.physicstoday.org/resource/1/phtoad/v65/i2/p22_s1?bypassSSO=1
: "Receiving an email with a statement like “You should resign, and if
you don’t, I’ll work to see that you are fired” or “I know where your
kids go to school” would be unsettling enough. But they “pale compared
to what other climate scientists are getting,” says Raymond Orbach,
director of the Energy Institute at the University of Texas at Austin,
at whom the first threat above was aimed. Now climate scientists—in
atmospheric physics and chemistry, geophysics, meteorology, hydrology,
and oceanography, among other disciplines—have begun to fight back. “I
think the community is finding a voice,” says Ben Santer of Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory, whose work has largely focused on
identifying the human influence on global climate, and who once answered
a late-night knock to find a dead rat on his doorstep." .... http://theenergycollective.com/josephromm/75958/climate-change-bringing-arctic-europe
: "The probability of cold winters with much snow in Central Europe
rises when the Arctic is covered by less sea ice in summer. Scientists
of the Research Unit Potsdam of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar
and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association have decrypted a
mechanism in which a shrinking summertime sea ice cover changes the air
pressure zones in the Arctic atmosphere and impacts our European winter
weather. These results of a global climate analysis were recently
published in a study in the scientific journal Tellus A."

Welcome to the Future of Neutron Scattering in Canada
a grassroots, nonpartisan movement of ordinary Canadians
that emerged in response to the lack of commitment by federal government(s) to build a new research reactor in Canada for nearly 2 decades.
